Known worldwide as an expert in all things relating to woodwind instruments (his blog "So Many Instruments, So Little Time" has been read by over half a million woodwind players worldwide), Josh has also been sought after as a consultant by several woodwind manufacturers in the design and marketing of new instruments, has been described as the "Ollivander of The Woodwind World" for his ability to match players with the perfect equipment setup, and has managed (and continues to manage) the social media accounts of several woodwind instrument makers as well as retailers.

Recently, in cooperation with his close friend and Grammy Award-winning clarinetist and gifted instrument tech/maker/designer (and Selmer Paris Artist) Michael Norsworthy, he has launched a podcast, also titled "So Many Instruments, So Little Time", to continue his mission to educate the general woodwind playing population on the tools of the trade, but to also discuss issues such as the grey market, distribution deals, artist contracts, auditions, doubling, and a host of other topics.
